Some minor updates

Load times should now be considerably faster. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

The new formula site is coming along much quicker than I thought it would. Expect a live version sometime next week.

And most importantly, don't miss the presentation next week at the general meeting. Dr. Sankar Mohan will be presenting over AWD/4WD dynometer testing.

Updated

Well, it's done. I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about it. Comments, criticisms, suggestions... I'm all ears.

Oh, and you should upgrade if you haven't already.

Next up is a new Formula site. Stay tuned...

A few quick notes to fully enjoy the new site

The 3 links listed under "What's your style?" will change the site's style to represent your team of choice. It'll even remember what style you used last so that it's the same every time you open the site. Try it out!
The purple box titled "Design Teams" is a little preview area for each of our 3 design teams. Click the team names to switch to a different team to preview. Click more » to launch the team's full site in another window.
As you can see, all of the images used are from older competitions. Following competition season this year, and assuming you guys take plenty of good pics of your pride and joy, I'll update the site with fresh images.
If you are using IE6 or Safari, this site will not quite appear as it should (although it will come really close). You should upgrade (IE7 works too).
